Wii Warm Up: Favorite tracks?
Wii Warm Up: On track
With Mario Kart Wii heading our way soon, we thought it might be a good time to get a little nostalgic over your favorite aspects of past games. Tracks, characters, tiny details -- what makes your favorite version of Mario Kart the one for you? What about track types? Maybe you love the beaches and jungles but hate anything with ice. There's a lot to discuss; regardless of how similar the games seem to be from system to system, there are so many differences to talk about!Confirmed: Wii has MP3 playback support
In the most recent "Iwata Asks" interview, Iwata talks with Kouichi Kawamoto about the Photo channel for the Wii. Aside for some basic Photobooth functionality, Kawamoto mentions an interesting tidbit: MP3's stored on the SD card along with the photos will be played in the background during a slideshow.
While this seems horrendously not cool, consider the fact that this functionality is in fact very similar to the Xbox 360's ability to play personal tracks during gameplay. In fact, a developer could most likely easily implement this functionality into any game they desire, so keep on the look out. If nothing else, it's an easy cop-out if Nintendo wants to add an extra "music channel" to expand functionality.
